unmodulated
Lacking tonal changes
Unmodulated describes sound, voice, or signal that lacks variation in pitch, tone, or intensity.
An unmodulated voice is flat and monotonous, without the rises and falls of natural speech: He spoke in an unmodulated drone that put half the audience to sleep.
In electronics, an unmodulated signal carries no information—a steady wave without the variations that encode data.
